The Cambodian Painter

This photo was taken in a Cambodian night market. What caught my attention was the brilliant art work in this store. I spoke briefly with the artist in the picture & understood that he was the resident painter and everything in the shop was painted by him. It takes about a day to complete a piece and they sell for between US$30 to US$100 per piece. I asked him how was life as a painter - he smiled and said "I don't earn much"... "but... I am happy."
